" ... I purchased the 40lbs without shoulder pass version. ... The weight is pretty evenly distributed so it doesn't sway, unless you lean over sideways with the straps loose. ... I don't know the quality of the shoulder pads they include, but you need something if you are going to wear this for more than about 10 minutes at a time. ... Overall excellent quality so far, though probably get it with shoulder pads ... "
